And I would not ye should be ignorant, brethren, that many times I proposed to come to you, (and I was hindered till this time,) that I might have some fruit also in you, and in the rest of the nations.

For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to all believing; both to the Jew first, and the Greek.

Wherefore having known God, not as God did they honour or return thanks; but were rendered vain in their conversations, and their heart without understanding was darkened.

And as they chose not to have God in knowledge, God delivered them to an adulterated purpose, to do things not fitting;

Who knowing the justice of God, that they doing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve those doing.

Or the abundance of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering dos thou despise; not knowing that the goodness of God brings thee to repentance?

(For not hearers of the law just with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when nations, not having the things of the law, by nature do the things of the law, these, not having the law, are law to themselves:

Therefore teaching another, teachest thou not thyself proclaiming not to steal, stealest thou?

Speaking not to commit adultery, committest thou adultery? abhorring images, committest thou sacrilege?

Therefore if uncircumcision watch the justification of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

And shall not uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, judge thee, which by letter and circumcision a transgressor of the law?

For he in appearance, is not a Jew; neither circumcision, in appearance in the flesh:

But he in concealment, a Jew; and circumcision of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose approbation not of man, but of God.

For what if some disbelieved? their unbelief will not leave inactive the faith of God.

It may not be: and let God be true, and every man a liar; as has been written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest conquer in thy being judged.

And if our injustice shall recommend the justice of God, what shall we say God not unjust bringing in anger? (I speak as man)

It may not be: for how shall God judge the world

And not, (as we are defamed, and some have declared us to say,) That we should do evil things, that good things might come: whose judgment is just.

What advantage therefore have we? Not in any way: for we before accused both Jews and Greeks, all to be under sin.

As has been written, That there is no just one, not one:

All have bent aside, together have they become unprofitable: there is none doing good, there is not even one.

And the way of peace they knew not:

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

Or only the God of the Jews? and not also of the nations? Yes, also of the nations:

Therefore shall we leave the law inactive by faith It may not be: but we should establish the law.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God.

And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt.

And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice.

A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin.

How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham.

For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith.

Therefore of faith, that according to grace; the promise to be firm to all the seed; not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all,

(As it has been written, That have set thee father of many nations,) over against him who believed God, making alive the dead, and calling things not being as being.

And not having been weak in faith, he observed not his own body already having been dead, being about a hundred years, and the death of Sarah's womb:

And for the promise of God he was not separated by unbelief; but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God;

And it was not written for him alone, that it was reckoned to him;

And not only, but also we boast in affliction: knowing that affliction works perseverance;

And hope shames not; for the love of God has been poured in our hearts by the Holy Spirit given us.

And not only, but also boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

(For until the law sin was in the world: and sin is not charged, being no law.

But death reigned from Adam to Moses, and upon them not having sinned upon the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him about to be.

But not as the fall, so also the favor. For if for the fall of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace, of one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to many.

And not as by one having sinned, the gift: for truly the judgment of one to condemnation, but the favor of many falls to justification.

It may not be. We who died to sin, shall we yet live in it?

Or know ye not, that as many of us as were immersed in Christ Jesus, we were immersed into his death?

Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, to listen to it in its passions.

For sin shall not rule over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace It may not be.

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, ye are servants to whom ye listen; either of sin to death, or of obedience to justice?

Know ye not brethren, (for I speak to them knowing law,) that law rules over man as much time as he lives?

Wherefore, the husband living, she shall be called adulteress if she be to another man: but if the man die, she is free from the law; not to be an adulteress, being to another man.

Therefore, my brethren, ye also were dead to the law by the body of Christ; for you not to be to another, but to him raised from the dead, that we bring forth fruit to God.

And now we were left inactive from the law, having died in what we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What then shall we say? The law sin? It may not be. But I knew not sin except by the law: for I knew not lust, if the law said not, Thou shalt not eagerly desire.

Was then good death to me? It may not be. But sin, that it might appear sin, by the good working death in me; that sin might be sinful to excess by the command.

For what I work I know not: for what I would not, this I do; but what I hate, this I do.

And if what I would not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

For I know that in me dwells no good, (that is, in my flesh:) for to will lies near me; but to work good I find not.

For not what good I would, do I; but the evil I would not, this I do.

And if what I would not, this I do, I no more work it, but sin dwelling in me.

Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

That the justification of the law be filled up in us, not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any have not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For ye have not received the Spirit of servitude again for fear; but have received the Spirit of adoption as a son, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

For I reckon that the sufferings of the time now not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us.

For the creation was subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him having subjected in hope,

And not only, but also they having the first fruits of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan in ourselves, waiting for the adoption as a son, the redemption of our body.

For by hope were we saved: but hope being seen is not hope: for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

And if what we see not, we hope for, by patience we wait.

And likewise also the Spirit takes hold together, and assists our weaknesses: for what we would pray for as we ought, we know not, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

Who truly spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, and how not with him will he freely give us all?

I Speak truth in Christ, I lie not, my consciousness bearing witness to me in the Holy Spirit,

And not as that the word of God has fallen through. For not they all of Israel, they which of Israel:

That is, The children of the flesh, these not the children of God: but the children of the solemn promise are reckoned for seed.

And not only; but also Rebecca, having coition of one, Isaac our father;

(For not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that according to choice the purpose of God might remain, not of works, but of him calling;)

What then shall we say Is injustice with God? It may not be.

Surely then, not of him Willing, nor of him running, but of God commiserating.

Or has not the potter power over the clay, of the same mixture truly to make one vessel for honour, and one for dishonour

Whom he also called us, not only from the Jews, but also of the nations?

As also he says in Hosea, I will call not my people my people; and the not loved, loved.

And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God.

What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith.

And Israel following the law of justice, reached not the law of justice.

Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone;

As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

For I testify for them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God.

And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

For the writing says, Every one believing upon him shall not be ashamed.

How then shall they call upon whom they believed not? and how shall they believe whom they heard not? and how shall they hear without him proclaiming?

But not all listened to the good news. For Esaias says, Lord, who believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will make you jealous of not a nation, and by a shortsighted nation will I anger you.

And Esaias is very confident, and says, I was found of them not seeking me; I was manifested to them not asking for me.

I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.
